Only blank screen after login

Why did you remove the wp-config-sample.php? That’s what WordPress will be looking for when you type /wp-admin/install.php. Without that file, you won’t be able to run the install.

Are you sure Pali? I thought it looked for wp-config.php?

In wp-config-sample.php I does:
DB_NAME: Data base
DB_USER: username
DB_PASSWORD: pasword
DB_HOST: localhost
This changes I does before I loaded ftp, in my pc. Then I load folder wordpress to my host and I eliminated wp-config-sample.php

Do you mean you edited wp-config-sample.php to have those settings, and then when you say ‘eliminated’, do you mean ‘renamed to wp-config.php’. I assume you did mean this, because I see no point in editing a file and then jus deleting it! Can you confirm?

The other thing to check is that you did actually upload it to the right place! I know that sounds obvious, but I have seen some people load the files into a subdirectory, thinking they were uploading into root, and so wp-admin folder is not where they thought it was (I do this deliberately, but that’s another story!).

Thank you very much Pali & ChipsOnFire.

Pali, ChipsOnFire:
I looked wp-config has some data (db_name, db_user…) that I wrote in wp-config-sample, for this instead of renamed wp-config-sample I deleted it.

Now I upload wp-config-sample, but the problem are some. Also I test to rename wp-config-sample to wp-config way ftp, but some mesage.

ChipsOnFire:
My host is new, I haven′t nothing. I conected way ftp and upload folder “wordpress” in domain, not subdomain or any folder because my host was early.

Sorry for my english and thanks for your help.

One question:
In host I put mydomine.com.mysql or I leave localhost??

In my wp-config.php I have the following:

DB_NAME = site_wordpress

Note: I created a database with the name ‘wordpress’ but my hosting provider forces all my databases to start with ‘site_’, so the full database name is site_wordpress. Make sure you include anything that your hosting provider adds to the front, if they do.

DB_USER = site_wpadm

Note: Note: I created a user with the name ‘wpadm’ but, as with the database names, my hosting provider forces all my users to start with ‘site_’, so the full user name is site_wpadm. Make sure you include anything that your hosting provider adds to the front, if they do.

DB_PASSWORD = mypassword

DB_HOST = localhost

So assuming you have a similar setup, then you should fill in the correct database name, user name and password that you set up, and you should be good to go.

If you have checked & verified the database name and user names match what you created, then can you post whatever errors you are getting?

I deleted all in my host and upload all and work, but now after wp-login I look white page.
If I put the password or username wrong wordpress say me this is bad, but I put the username and password good I look white page.

One other thing to possibly consider. The root of my FTP server is NOT the same as the root of my Website!! Check yours. When I log in to my FTP server, there are several directories. One of them is /public_html (there is also /www but this is just a symbolic link to /public_html so it is actually the same place).

When I upload files to my website, THIS is where they have to go, NOT the root of the FTP server.

IF your hosting provider works the same way – and you should check with them – then after FTP’ing to your server, do NOT load your wordpress files into / but instead make sure you load them into /www (or /public_html, or whatever your hosting provider uses as the root directory for web).

Can you post a link to your site?

puromarketingonline.com

The site seems to work, I can see it when I use that link. What is the issue you are having?

Sorry if this is obvious, but I thought I would say it just in case – remember that the username and password for your wp login is not the database username & password. It is the username and password you created when you ran the wp installation install.php.

Yes, I put pass and username of when I created in wp installation.

You and I can look the site, but in wp-login i put the pass and username and I don′t look de dashboard of admin, the page is all white.

The pass and username I know are good, because if I put other, wordpress said me pass or username incorrect. If I put pass and username good, I look a white page.

Then right now, I cannot think of what might be wrong – sorry.
However, this is no longer an “error 404” problem, so can I suggest you post a new question, with a title of perhaps “Only blank screen after admin log-in” so that other people might see this new problem and might be able to help. They may not see the problem here under “error 404”.

Ok, thanky very much ChipsOnFire

One thing that just occurred to me – you have been editing the wp-config.php file.

Sometimes such an error can happen due to spaces, new lines, or other garbage at opening/closing PHP file <?php tag or after a closing ?> tag in wp-config.php.

Check your wp-config.php to ensure you have no extra spaces or lines at the top/bottom where they shouldn’t be.

It can be the same in other files too, so if you edited any other files check them too.
